University of Wales Trinity Saint David

The University of Wales Trinity Saint David (UWTSD) is a UK university that offers a growing portfolio of degree apprenticeships and work-based learning opportunities designed for both employers and employees. Its apprenticeship programmes are developed in collaboration with industry partners and Welsh businesses to align academic study with practical, workplace-based training, particularly in areas such as civil engineering, construction management, quantity surveying, electrical and electronic engineering, mechanical engineering, supply chain and logistics, and people management. These programmes typically combine part-time university study with relevant employment, allowing apprentices to gain higher education qualifications while remaining in paid work. For many programmes, tuition fees are funded by the Welsh Government, with no cost to the apprentice or employer, subject to government apprenticeship funding rules, and apprentices are entitled to a wage, statutory holidays and paid time off to study. UWTSD positions apprenticeships as a lifelong learning pathway with no upper age limit, open to eligible employees over 18, including those who are self-employed in Wales. Alongside apprenticeships, the university provides a comprehensive range of undergraduate, postgraduate and professional courses across around 20 subject areas, with an emphasis on small class sizes, subject-expert teaching and strong student support, to help learners develop the skills and knowledge needed for career progression and organisational impact.
